Memory Reading, not working.

[retskrad]

Hey guys.. I just started with autoit a while ago and yesterday decided to make my first project a World of Warcraft (MMORPG) memory reading program.

So I wanted to read the health of my character and display it.

A nice guy on another site gave me this code wich puts his HP and max HP in a tooltip when WoW is minimized:

#Include <NomadMemory.au3>
hotkeyset("{end}", "err")
SetPrivilege("SeDebugPrivilege", 1)

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")


$wow = _memoryopen(WinGetProcess("wow"))
sleep(500)
$lvl1Pointer= _MemoryRead(0x0127F13C, $wow, 'ptr')
sleep(500)
$lvl2Pointer= _MemoryRead(($lvl1Pointer + 0x30), $wow, 'ptr')
sleep(500)
$PlayerBase= _MemoryRead(($lvl2Pointer + 0x28), $wow, 'ptr')
sleep(500)
While 1
$health= _memoryread($PlayerBase + 0xFF4, $wow)
$mhealth= _memoryread($PlayerBase + 0x26E4, $wow)
if not WinActive("World of Warcraft") Then
 ToolTip("Current HP: "&$health&"/"&$mhealth&".")
Sleep(10)
if  $health < $mhealth Then
    WinActivate("World of Warcraft")
EndIf



Else
    sleep(10)
EndIf

WEnd

func err()
    Exit
endfunc

As you can see he uses the nomadmemory.au3.

But as I was reading the helpfile yesterday, I found the read memory API of autoit:

_WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory($hProcess, $pBaseAddress, $pBuffer, $iSize, ByRef $iRead)

And it looks much easier to use. But the helpfile did not give any info or sample code on using it and I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction to learning.

EDIT: BTW, the first sample code doesn't work, for some weird reason it always returns 0/0

I am on windows XP so i dont think its adminstrator thing.

Firt, search ... "memory reading"

Firt, search ... "memory reading"

I already did, I always search before I ask. But it seems anybody who is doing similar things use the nomadmemory.au3 and not the API.

retskrad,

Please wait a decent time - like 24 hrs - before bumping.

I wouldn't even be able to find my thread after 24 hours. It's a very active forum

If you don't understand simple concepts like bookmarking, then you won't be able to understand memory reading either.

My bookmark bar is full. But anyway, thanks for your help i'll stop bumping now.

Create a text file and write it down. It's not so difficult.

Considering (and I believe it's also true) that your calc.exe process's imagebase is 0x1000000 then try this to get the MZ signature for example:

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Dim $cPID = Run('calc.exe')
WinWaitActive('Calculator')

Dim $hCalc = _WinAPI_OpenProcess($PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, $cPID)
Dim $iRead = 0
Dim $tMem = DllStructCreate('byte[2]')
Dim $Ret = _WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory($hCalc, 0x1000000, DllStructGetPtr($tMem, 1), 2, $iRead)
ConsoleWrite('Return: ' & $Ret & @TAB & 'BytesTotalRead: ' & $iRead & @TAB & DllStructGetData($tMem, 1) & @CRLF)

hmm,, end point of usage,

I think that you are want to know key point, dude.

Try to search 'WriteProcessMemory' in this.

Second, open and read in 'Include\WinApi.au3' about 'WriteProcessMemory'.

Then, find more 'SeDebugPrivilege' in 'Include\Security,au3'.

Also, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681674.aspx

It's more delicious.

Good luck to you,
